Technology has changed a lot in the past 15 years. Chips are smaller and they can pack more features into the same box. I bought a used Larrivee D-09 with the LR Baggs system. I think it's from about 2002 or so.

I'm not sure if this is the Anthem or not. I don't see much to identify the electronics. I can take a better photo later today.

It would be nice to get updated electronics. A XLR jack and maybe one that includes a tuner. I currently use a Peterson Strobotuner, stomp tuner on stage.

Is this an easy option? Drop in and replace? Can you point me to the LR Baggs model that fits?

I don't want to significantly modify the guitar. I would save the old Baggs unit for when the guitar is eventually resold.

Also, is it OK to clean the Baggs slider controls? I bought a can of contact cleaner from Stew Mac. They sell CAIG DeoxIT Pot & Switch Cleaner. I also bought the volume control adapter that can force cleaner into the pot without disassembling the guitar.

Thats not an Anthem to early for them.The Anthem has an internal mic and under the saddle pu.Yes its ok to use electronics cleaner I do it all the time,Remove the controls and open the box so that you can better clean the sliders.I'm not sure that Baggs offer's a control unit with a tuner built in.I have never found body mounted controls to ever match size's from company to company{hope that came out right}.You better off with a good direct box then having an XLR mounted jack as the jacks in the guitar turns the battery on and off.By the way the pix of that beautiful woman need to be removed {parent showing thru}.

I changed the link in the OP to show the image. So the full album's contents isn't shown. This is a 12 year old account with a mishmash of photos and screen caps that I referenced in forum posts. Nothing inappropriate or adult. I can't reorganize it without breaking 12 years of links.

Just says Larrivee Mix. I'd love to know more precisely which LR Baggs unit this is.

I learned they recommend the mix control should normally be at 12 o'clock.

I know that is where I find my best sound although it is nice to have the dual source for options. The Imix is a great p/u that I suggest not discarding till you've had sometime with it, just a thought! Enjoy that guitar!!!
